Yeah, but he was tearing through the roster anyway. I’d say destroying Hogan and actually winning the championship did more to make him than technically winning a tournament they scrapped right after.

I consider Brock one of the more successful King of the Rings, but it’s not like the tournament itself helped him.

I don't believe any tournament has single handedly elevated someone's career.

The G1? It seems to help guys.

The same logic applies where the potential winner was already being pushed or primed for success.

Yeah, but the tournament itself helps them. I think there’s been one guy that has won at the Dome because of it. And I might be wrong, but I think there have been times where the tournament itself is the push. I’m thinking Naito and Omega, but I might be wrong.

Comparatively, the King of the Ring is more an anchor. You can be getting a push and then the tournament ruins it. The guy I will say it helped is Booker T. The King Booker gimmick may have mixed critical response, but it did put Booker in the SmackDown main events.

The G1 certainly holds more weight than the KOTR.
